He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Wow. 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special. 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the. 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Air and everywhere.

Today August eleventh, this Sunday 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: is Mountain Day. What the f is that? I don't 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: really know. I think it has something to do with 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Japan Mountain Day, relatively new holiday. We are told there 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: aren't many traditions associated with because they just made it up. 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: The inaugural national ceremony form Mountain Day was held in 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: the Japanese Alps, so not that long ago. I don't 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: know how these things happen, but it is National Mountain Day, 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: so celebrate accordingly, foh drizzle. On this podcast, we'll get 26 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: to engagement farming. Also, I have been remiss over the weekend. 27 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: Here we have not gotten to the word of the week, 28 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: or in this case, we'll have multiple words of the week. 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: But we begin with this after many many days of 30 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: messages coming in regarding a recent malad monologue, well not 31 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: even that recent three year old mal monologue that still 32 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: has legs, I would like to present to you, the 33 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: home consumer here on the fifth hour, the single biggest 34 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: board that we have done. It is Big Bend's Big 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: Board of viral monologue moments, otherwise known as engagement farming. Yes, 36 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: we are in the engagement farming business. We are paid 37 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: to engage. That is out of necessity because we have 38 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: bills to pay. But the fact is doing an overnight 39 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: sports radio show. And you know how this works by 40 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: consuming the product that we work in a disposable form 41 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: of entertainment. We do all right, So say it is 42 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: every single day there's a new fire to put out, 43 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: there's a new outrage that we must discuss in the 44 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: world sports. And ultimately, it is a fungible situation that 45 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: more times than not, I will do a mal monologue 46 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it pops out there 47 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: into the microphone, into your ear drums, and you chew 48 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: it up and you spit it out. Maybe you like it. 49 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it didn't hit the mark for you. It wasn't 50 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: to your taste. Everyone's taste buds are different. You didn't 51 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: see eye to eye with the mal monologue. But that's it. Ultimately, 52 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: it's done right. You think of it in the same 53 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: context of tissue. You gotta blow your nose, You need 54 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: a tissue. When you're done blowing your nose, you throw 55 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: the tissue away. How about you go to the bathroom. 56 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: You like that toilet paper, right, use the toilet paper, 57 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: take care of business, and then eventually you're like, all right, 58 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm done with that, and da hey, goodbye. You flush 59 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: it away, go fast food. We'll get some ketchup. You 60 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: will pack it the ketchup. Maybe get some honey mustard 61 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: sauce with your chicken. Okay, use it up, and when 62 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: it's done, you have to throw it away. How about 63 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: a plastic fork. Maybe you went out to get some 64 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: nice Chinese food and Panda Express and you're like, all right, 65 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: I'll use one of the plastic forks there, and then 66 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: you're done with it. You throw it away. How about 67 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: a cupcake? You want a cupcake, You wrap that cupcake 68 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: in that little wrapper. You're done with that. Boom, eat 69 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: the cupcake, throw that thing away. So the point is, 70 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: get to the point, please that often these monologues are 71 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: just background noise. They're elevator music. You skip through them 72 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: without missing a beat, and that's it. We're done. That's all. 73 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: But every once in a while that is not the case. Now, 74 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: the normal lifespan of a Mallard monologue, I know you're 75 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: curious about this. How long does it last? How long 76 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: does that malar monologue list? I'll tell you so, the 77 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: average Mallard monologue lifespan is anywhere from a couple of 78 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: hours to twenty four to forty eight hours. I would 79 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: argue I've done this for a long time that the 80 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: malar monologue on average, the lifespan is that of a waterfly. Now, 81 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: if you're unfamiliar in the entire span of the planet, 82 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: the mayfly, waterfly has the shortest lifespan of just about 83 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: anything on the planet, meaning the average lifespan of a 84 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: mayfly these waterflies is less from less than five minutes 85 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: to one to two days, from less than five minutes 86 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: to one to two days. So the average if you're 87 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: living a long life as a waterfly, the may fly 88 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: you're living forty eight hours. You've lived a long, full, 89 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: complete life, and then it's time to check out. So 90 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: the point is they don't last very long. But as 91 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: we said, every now and again, every now and again 92 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: we paint an oil painting a masterpiece. Doesn't happen often, 93 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: but it does happen, and it normally happens when you 94 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: least suspected everyone's feeling all groovy after a great monologue, 95 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: but you're like, well, I don't know, did that really resonate? 96 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: And I bring this up because when that happens, we 97 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: go from a waterfly that doesn't live more than two 98 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: days to a sequoia tree in the mighty Redwood forests 99 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: of California and those living metaphorically for two thousand years. 100 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: Those giant sequoia trees are some of the greatest things 101 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: you can see as a human being being around the planet, 102 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: and those things live for two thousand years. So without 103 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: further ado, we now present the most comprehensive, most important 104 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: big board. It's Big Benz big board, four leaf clover style. 105 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: These are the four Malar monologues that got turned into 106 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa of monologues, the gold standard. We crossed 107 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: the rubicon, clear sailing, smooth, open waters, as long as 108 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: you can, as far as you can see, as far 109 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: as you can see. So here they are now I 110 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: will present them in reverse order in honor of what 111 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: has transpired the last couple of weeks at this Olympic 112 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: event in Perie, and in the qundary of it all. 113 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: So number fall number four on Big Ben's big board, 114 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: four leaf clover style. These only four most memorable mal 115 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: monologues at this time. Now, maybe I'm forgetting something. You 116 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: can help me out, so pay close attention alf the 117 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: Alien Opiner and some of the other boys that have 118 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: been with the show for a long time. So number four, 119 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put someone Biles in number four, and sim oone. 120 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: Biles is someone I've talked about maybe two or three 121 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: times in my life. She's not someone that I pay 122 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: close attention to. We do meat and potatoes, sports talk, gymnastics. 123 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this not eat and potatoes. 124 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: It's not. However, the rare and appropriate Malard monologue when 125 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: it pops up and there's something going on involving Simone 126 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Biles and there's not much else out there, then we 127 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: will put that in the microwave. We'll heat it up, 128 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: take it out, We'll enjoy it, We'll partake in the feast. 129 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: So Simone Biles is, I've told a very good Olympic gymnast. 130 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: She also quit back in twenty twenty one in a 131 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: tremendously embarrassing move there for Simone Biles and Team USA gymnastics. 132 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: So I did at Malar monologue. I pointed it out, 133 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: and over the last almost a month now, I've been 134 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: getting messages. Even when I was in Vegas last weekend 135 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: at the Malor Meet and greet, hanging out with the people, 136 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: got several messages from people that stumbled into the monologue 137 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: who wanted to say hello. People I've worked with in 138 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the past, people that I haven't talked to in years. 139 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: They still have my number and they're sending me messages. 140 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: And so the Simone Biles monologue was something I did, 141 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: as I said, twenty twenty one, but it has been 142 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: immortalized because of a documentary, a docuseriies on Simone Biles 143 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: on Netflix. So on this one, I've been getting some 144 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: wokester dudes and a lot of angry middle aged women 145 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: in a fury defending their hero. They love Simone Biles. 146 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: How dare anyone have a dissenting opinion about the Olympic 147 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: gymnast quitting on her teammates in twenty twenty one? So 148 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: I'm getting these messages and people are going to great 149 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: lengths to try to get a hold of me, tracking 150 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: down email addresses, ranting and raving about that social media platforms, 151 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,239 Speaker 1: Oh no, hell, Bill Miller. The attacks are pretty elementary. 152 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: These women aren't that bright. They're not, and so they'll 153 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: they'll send messages like, hey, you know you're middle age, 154 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: you're fat, you don't have any hair, which is it's 155 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: what low information people do. We kind of know that 156 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: when you attack someone, you often look for weak spots. 157 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: That's how you do it, that's how you attack. And 158 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: so since they can't really attack the quality of the monologue, 159 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: what they do is they attack my vanity and they 160 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: attack my appearance and my place in life and all 161 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: that stuff. And I get it. I mean, these are 162 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: lazy people. These are people that sit around watch Netflix 163 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: documentaries all day. They don't have much of life. I 164 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: understand it. But I would like to thank the people 165 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: at Netflix for opening this up to think that I 166 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: did a monologue that I had not even thought about. 167 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: Why would I in all these years in twenty twenty one, 168 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: Here we are in twenty twenty four, and the monologue 169 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: is still alive. It's still got legs. That is a 170 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: Sequoia tree monologue that I'm getting angry messages from people 171 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: who I guess they might think they're not that bright. 172 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: They're kind of stupid people. Maybe they think that just happened. 173 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: It's a recent monologue. I don't know. You'd have to 174 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: ask them, but I did learn over the years there's 175 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: certain rules of etiquette that you have to follow. And 176 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: one of the big ones. We talk about this from 177 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: time to time. When you're at the beach on a 178 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: nice summer day, you're doing your thing, I just yeah, 179 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: having a good time. Well, the birds come over. They 180 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: want to eat, they want to have a nice meal. 181 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: And if you start feeding the seagulls. What happens is 182 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: one of those birds going tadda. Yes, you start feeding 183 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: the seagulls, and all of us sudden there's a bunch 184 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: more that come in, right, And so addressing trolls is 185 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: like feeding the seagulls. If you feed one, a dozen 186 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: more are going to appear all of a sudden, and 187 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: they're gonna there's gonna be convoys of seagulls that come in. 188 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: Let's call them seagulls, monsters, whatever you want. You feed 189 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: the monsters, and then you get more monsters that show up, 190 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: and they're just trying to get a reaction, and they 191 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: got no lives. And I get it. I understand. You're 192 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: in a tough spot in life. You've got nothing going on, 193 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: and you're watching Netflix documentaries by yourself, and you want 194 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: to defend your girls. Simone Biles, I am flattered. I 195 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: am honored. You do not understand Again, I go back 196 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: to my point in this business, what I do for 197 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: a living, I have Every day I come into my studio, 198 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: I get ready for the show, and my takes have 199 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: a lifespan of a mayfly.

I believe was some aer of twenty sixteen. 213 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: Some are of love the Cleveland Cadavers, the Cleveland Cavaliers 214 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: and Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, and I 215 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: went on a rant, and I went on a rant. 216 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Golden State jumped out, they came out like gamebusters, and 217 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: I went on a rant. I pointed out that the 218 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: Cavaliers were not going to come back and beat the 219 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors in that NBA Finals. Summed it up, 220 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: spelled it out, the whole thing, and sure, enough, Sure 221 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: enough Teada. Yeah, the Cavaliers came back. And one the 222 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: reason this is in the top four big ben big board, 223 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: four leaf clover malard monologues that have a long lifespan 224 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: is that summer after the Calves won the title, a 225 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: couple days later, they had a parade in downtown Cleveland. 226 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: And if you come into my studio, the remote studio 227 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that I broadcast from about half the time, if you 228 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: come in there and I record the podcast from the studio, 229 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: although I'm on the East coast today, but if you 230 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: go into the studio, you will see a photo of 231 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: a gentleman standing at the Calves parade. And in said photo, 232 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: he's holding up a large sign. And what is the sign? Say, 233 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: it's got I got boxes next to it and all that, 234 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: But it's regarding the people that did not believe in 235 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers' ability to come back against the Golden 236 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: State Warriors. Is that the championship parade, there's like a 237 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: million people in downtown Cleveland and this guy's going around 238 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: holding up this large poster board sign. It's got me 239 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith side by side by side, 240 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: and I'm being compared to Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith, 241 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: people that you know, very similar pace structure, unless that's 242 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: not the case. But that's number three on Big Ben's 243 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: big board, the four leaf clover style of the four mona. 244 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: Lisa Malon monologues the gold Standard as I remember him 245 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: on this day, on this Sunday, the eleventh day of August. 246 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: Now number two shooting straight from the hip, A longtime 247 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: nemesis of you know who, someone that has annoyed us 248 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: for many, many years, is in the number two slot. 249 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: That would be The Cheating as Holes. We can say 250 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a podcast, the Cheating as Holes. So back in 251 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty nineteen when the story broke 252 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: Astros cheated in twenty eighteen. It wasn't until twenty nineteen. 253 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: I believe it was early in twenty nineteen that a 254 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: story came out on the Athletic about the cheating that 255 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: took place. It was either late twenty eighteen or early 256 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I forget exactly when, but it was a 257 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: while after the twenty seventeen World Series that was sullied 258 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: forever by the team from Houston. So I had done 259 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,239 Speaker 1: many rants. I rant and raped like an absolute buffoon 260 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: for many, many, many many days, and I still do 261 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: to this day. I bring it up at least once 262 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: a week, the cheating holes. So one of these monologues 263 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: went viral. It took off and had a life of 264 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: its own. Me barking like a dog into the microphone. 265 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: And it's number two on our slot, the cheating Astros mattelemonel. 266 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: The reason that's at number two is because I got 267 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: complaints from the Commissioner's Office of Major League Baseball. Rob Manford, 268 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: the face of Major League Baseball. The Commissioner's office, someone 269 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: in his office called the complaint to the mothership because 270 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: of my rant about the cheating astros going on and 271 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: on and on. So now I'm pretty sure Rob Manfraud 272 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: did not make the phone call, but someone underneath rob 273 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: Manfraud made the phone call running interference, running the naked 274 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: boot like they wanted the sound of silence from me 275 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: regarding my commentary about the cheating assholes. And so that's 276 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: number two. I just love that Major League Baseball, with 277 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: all the things they're supposed to worry about, that right 278 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: near the top of the list is silencing or trying 279 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: to silence the overnight radio guy. Because of his commentary 280 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: about the cheating Astro. It's just absolutely great. So that's 281 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: number three or number two rather number two, so again 282 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: the top top four. Number four is the Simone Biles 283 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: Netflix documentary where I'm still getting crapola from middle aged 284 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: women defending their girl their favorite gymnasts. Number three was 285 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: the Calves not only winning the championship against the Warriors, 286 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: but a guy going around in front of a million 287 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: plus people in Cleveland holding up a sign with my 288 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: face on it, right next to Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith. 289 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: So that's number three. Number two the aforementioned cheating a 290 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: Stros Major League Baseball calling up to complain the Commissioner's 291 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: office with Rob Manford. I'm not sure who exactly called. 292 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: I just got it secondhand. They were not happy with 293 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: my work. And now no Burrow. Number one, all right, 294 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: so number one Top four four leaf clover Big Ben's 295 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: Big Board, Mala monologues. So we are going to now 296 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: go to pro Bouncy Ball, the pro Bouncy Ball Hall 297 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is a dog eat 298 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: Dog world and man new Genobili popped up randomly list 299 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: of Hall of Famer not Hall of Famer came up, 300 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: man who Genobili's name was on there? We said, not 301 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, And you would have thought that 302 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: we had started a nuclear war. You would have thought that, right, 303 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: this was some kind of war crime. They need to 304 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: call a war tribunal to attack us. So this got 305 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: picked up first of all by a TV station in 306 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: San Antonio, I remember that, and then within a couple 307 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: of days it was all over Argentina. Now how do 308 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: I know that? Much like the middle aged women. Mostly 309 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: there's a few wokes to men, but middle aged women 310 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: that are sending me nasty messages. Because of the Netflix 311 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: documentary about Simone Biles, where I'm included in that, you 312 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: also have the mad Genobili Hall of Fame conversation. And 313 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: I was getting messages from people in Spanish. Now I 314 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: speak Spanguish, I don't speak Spanish. I know a little 315 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: bit of broken Spanish and that's about it. So I'm 316 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: getting all of these messages and I was like, what 317 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: is this about. I couldn't understand them. I was using 318 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: Google Translate. They were like something about Genobili and they 319 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: were attacking me and my character and all that stuff. 320 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: So I was like what is this about? And eventually 321 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: I figured it out because I was getting sent links 322 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: from the local TV news in Argentina that this was 323 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: such an outrageous take, going against all of the sensibilities 324 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: of the people there in Argentina, that they immortalized me 325 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: and put me on the nightly news in Argentina, that 326 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: my monologue resonated so much about Manu Genobil and I 327 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: do believe that's not like a made up take, like 328 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: I do believe it's not. I'm not being an extremist here. 329 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: It is my belief that Manu Gerobili, if you had 330 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: real standards in the Hall of fame, you would say, 331 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: not a hall of fame. But they don't really do 332 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: that anymore. They let everyone and they've always sid Muffin MacGrath. 333 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: We make the joke Muffin mcgras's Hall of Famer. The 334 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: precedent has been set where the doors are open, come 335 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: on down, knock yourself out. There's not a lot of 336 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: vetting process, So Manu Ginobili not a hall of famer. 337 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: Not want my cup of tea that rant. To this day, 338 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: I still get messages in Spanish, so I've got the 339 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: the housewives on one hand, or the cat lady on 340 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: one hand. That's got all the anger, all the rage 341 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: about my Simone Biles take. And then you've got the 342 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Manu Gernobili crowd in Spanish. And I still get cheating 343 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: Asstro defenders. For example, sir scratch off that weasel who 344 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: claims to be a Cardinal fan, but I think he's 345 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: a closeted fan of the assholes, and he'll send me 346 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: a messages very upset about that. I don't hear as 347 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: much from the people with Cleveland anymore. The Calves have 348 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: fallen back and they're just kind of eh playoff team, 349 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: but not a real threat in the Eastern Conference. So 350 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: there it is. Big Ben's big board four leaf clover style, 351 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: the four monologues that do not have the lifespan of 352 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: a mayfly up to forty eight hours. These are the 353 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: mala monologues that are forever monologues, like the mighty Sequoia 354 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: trees in California. They go up, up, and away, the 355 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: four le clover style Simone Biles number three, the Calves 356 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: won't win a title, the cheating as stros at number two. 357 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: At number one, the manus you're nobly not a Hall 358 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: of famer. Now again, that's not a list. Wrong, don't 359 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: send me an email, Terry in England and some of 360 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: the other idiots. Not a list, not a list, it 361 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: is merely a big board. Wrong time. Now for the 362 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: word all the weekly, a phrase of the week, thank you, ohial. 363 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: The phrase of the week is cutting corners. Now there 364 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: is always pet peeve. I always pet peeve of mine. 365 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that you put an honest day's 366 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: work in. You don't cut corners. Now, I realize that 367 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: certain people will try to do things as quickly as 368 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: possible to mitigate the amount of time being used. You 369 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: could argue that is cutting corners. But we're smarter, not harder. 370 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: That's counter argument to that. But let's go way back. 371 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: In the eighteenth century. Carpenters would use a ribbon at 372 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: the end of a completed piece or work, and they 373 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: would do that to signify that the project was done. 374 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: It's like here, I am, I'm done. I'm putting a 375 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: little ribbon on there. The practice gave rise to the 376 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: phrase cutting corners because in order to get into whatever 377 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: they were doing, you had to cut the corner off. 378 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: So cutting corners meaning to do something also poorly in 379 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: order to save time or money. The phrase is also 380 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: used by hunters. For example, in the English Etiquette Guide 381 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: in their instructions writers, they are instructed to follow the 382 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: line of the hounds and to not cut corners unless 383 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: they are well behind the hounds. Then you are allowed 384 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: to cut corners. Otherwise you or not. So a couple 385 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: different meetings there, But cutting corners comes from carpenters and 386 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: also English hunting etiquette. So cutting corners the phrase or 387 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: word all the week, and since we did not do 388 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: this on Friday or Saturday, we must add a bonus, 389 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: a bonus phrase. You know what. I have a couple 390 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: I found here recently, So I'd like to share with 391 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: the class, if you would so oblige me, number number two. 392 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: Number two, that would be in the same boat. Now 393 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: we're in the same boat. We both got a lot 394 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: of homework, right, we're in the same boat. What a nightmare? 395 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 396 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Al right, so in the 397 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: same boat. What the heck does in the same boat mean? 398 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: I am glad you have asked so in the same boat. 399 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: It goes back to ancient times. People who lived near 400 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: bodies of water frequently used boats to get from island 401 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: to island or wherever they needed to go. So they 402 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: had to get on boats as transportation. But boats were 403 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: very small and very dangerous in those days, so in 404 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: order to go anywhere, you had to put your life 405 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: on the line to go on these crappy little boats, 406 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: unless you were an expert swimmer. And so the way 407 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: the boats would work in the olden days, in ancient times, 408 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: they would require everyone on board to work together to 409 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: keep the stability and keep the boat from capsizing, because 410 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: once the boat capsizes, that's it. You're done. And so 411 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: that necessity for teamwork, for cooperation among everyone on said vehicle, 412 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: that gave rise to the phrase which is still used 413 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: all of these years later, the same boat in the 414 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: same boat, meaning you're going through the same experiences. The 415 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: metaphor first appeared in the sixteenth century Britain and was 416 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: used to convey that people in the same boat share 417 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: the same fate. So in the same boat goes all 418 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: the way back to ancient time and also the sixteenth 419 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: century Britain is where that comes from. And I think 420 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: we can do one, one more, one more, a little 421 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: time left. Let's go to stuffed shirt. Stuffed shirt. Now, 422 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: during the nineteenth century nineteenth century, Scottish farmers created scarecrows 423 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: by dressing wooden steaks and clothes. We've all seen scarecrows 424 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: trying to scare away the birds. The practice led to 425 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: the phrase stuffed shirt, referring to someone who is very 426 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: rigid or formal in their demeanor. Now, others claim the 427 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: term stuffed shirt is an americanism that actually originated in 428 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundreds nineteen ten to nineteen fifteen, and 429 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: it was used to describe someone who is pompous, self satisfied, inflexible, 430 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: or overly formal. For example, you might say she's such 431 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: a stuffed shirt that I'm surprisedy you'd invite her to 432 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: the barbecue, something like that. Okay, that's it. The earliest 433 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: known use of the term stuff shirt is in writings 434 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: from nineteen thirteen by the novelist and short story writer 435 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: Willa Cathere. So that is it stuff shirt. So that's 436 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: if my math is correct, that's three for one. We're 437 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: on the cutting edge, the cutting edge of this. Now, 438 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: no mail bag. Today, I'm on the road. Danny G 439 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: is not here, so I thought we'd give the mail 440 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: bag a rest. But next weekend I will be back 441 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: in the Mothership and so we will have the mail bag. 442 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: You can send your questions in care of Real fifth 443 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com.

I don't even know. 450 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: But it's not a direct flight because you know, don't 451 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: make that kind of money.
